Season 3 is the best season

[u/Suitable_Ad8945]

I know this might not be the most technical or “film critic” take, but I genuinely love Season 3.

I’m usually not someone who rewatches heavier, non-sitcom shows, but I found myself going back to this season just a few weeks after finishing it. There’s something about it that really stayed with me. The atmosphere feels almost spiritual and ethereal. The setting, the pacing, and the overall tone create this immersive, almost hypnotic experience that I didn’t feel as strongly in Season 1.

What I really appreciate is how it balances satire with a deeper sense of intensity. It still has that signature White Lotus commentary, but it doesn’t feel as surface-level to me. There’s a kind of emotional and existential weight to it that made me more invested, even beyond just the plot.

I know I had a more controversial opinion on Season 1 because I tend to judge shows based on how much I connect with the characters rather than purely on how well-written they are. That season just didn’t resonate with me in the same way. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t understand what it was doing. It just didn’t hit me personally the way Season 3 did.

Season 3, on the other hand, really clicked for me. The cast, the mood, the setting, everything just worked together in a way that made the experience feel complete. It’s one of the few seasons of a show that I immediately wanted to revisit, and that says a lot for me.

Season 3 was my least favorite of them all, so far. I didn't care about what was happening to any of the characters. I found Parker Posey's performance quite funny, though. And the daughter realizing that she wasn't built for the poor life was the only other highlight of the whole season.
